Sean Dyche said Wednesday he had left Everton at "the right time" after managing the club during "one of its toughest periods in its history".

Dyche left Everton just hours before the club's FA Cup game on Thursday night, but the team will need to make further additions in January beyond just a new manager.

Former Everton star Pat Nevin feels that Sean Dyche has been hugely undervalued for the work he carried out in the dugout. The Toffees sacked Dyche last week, as they were just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League table after a run of poor results and worries about relegation surfaced.

Sean Dyche says it was the right time to leave Everton amid "one of its toughest periods in its history". Dyche was sacked less than four hours before the FA Cup tie with Peterborough last Thursday by the club's new owners, The Friedkin Group, with Everton 16th in the Premier League and only one point above the relegation zone.

Sean Dyche has been sacked as manager of Everton, the club confirmed on Thursday. Dyche took over from Frank Lampard in 2023. Although Dyche steered Everton from relegation in back-to-back seasons amid financial strife, a combination of poor form and an uninspiring style of football has seen the Merseyside outfit act.

Sean Dyche has released a statement thanking Everton after spending two years at the club. Dyche was relived of his duties by the Toffees last week just a few hours before their FA Cup third round clash with Peterborough. Aston Villa predicted XI vs Everton: Duran to start ahead of Watkins?

It's been a whirlwind few days for Everton Football Club. So much so that it's not even been a week since the Toffees cut ties with former manager Sean Dyche, with David Moyes returning to the club to step into the breach.
